CHAPTER1Safety and Tools RequirementsThis chapter describes the safety and system precautions you must take whenservicing the system. It also lists the tools and equipment you will need.1.1Safety PrecautionsFor your protection, observe the following safety precautions when servicing yourequipment: Follow all cautions, warnings, and instructions marked on the equipment.Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment as they maytouch dangerous voltage points or short out components that could result in fireor electric shock.Refer servicing of equipment to qualified personnel.To protect both yourself and the equipment, observe the following safetyprecautions:TABLE 1-1Safety PrecautionsItemProblemPrecautionESD wrist orfoot strapElectro-StaticDischarge (ESD)Connect the ESD banana connector to your system and wear the wriststrap or foot strap when handling printed circuit boards. Each systemexcept for the Sun Fire 3800 has an ESD socket.ESD matESDUsing an approved ESD mat provides protection from static damagewhen used with a wrist strap or foot strap. The mat also cushions andprotects small parts that are attached to printed circuit boards.1-1
1.2SymbolsTABLE ous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electricalshock and danger, follow the instructions.CAUTIONRisk of personal injury or equipment damage. To reduce the risk, followthe instructions.CAUTIONCAUTION: Hot surfaces. Avoid contact. Surfaces are hot and may causepersonal injury if touched.COMPONENTACTIVATEDComponent is activated when the green activated LED on thesystem component is lit.FAULTSystem has detected a hardware failure. When the fault LED(amber) is lit, the system has detected hardware failure.OK TOREMOVEYou can safely remove board or component from the system whenthe OK to remove LED (amber or blue) is lit.System PrecautionsEnsure that the voltage and frequency of the power outlet to be used matches theelectrical rating labels on the equipment.Wear an ESD wrist/foot strap when handling any magnetic storage devices,CPU/Memory boards, or other printed circuit boards.Use only properly grounded power outlets as described in the installation guides.1-2Sun Fire E6900/E4900 Systems Service Manual May 2006
Caution – DO NOT make mechanical or electrical modifications to the system orthe cabinet. Sun Microsystems is not responsible for regulatory compliance ofmodified cabinets.Caution – The chassis AC power cord(s) must remain connected to ensure a properground.1.3.1Captive ScrewsCaution – Completely loosen all captive screws before ejecting the SystemController board, power supplies, and I/O assemblies. Captive screws that have notbeen completely loosened may cause damage to the System Controller board, powersupplies, or I/O assemblies.1.3.2Fan Speed MessageThe fan speed message states “WARNING” instead of “NOTICE” when the fanchanges speed. Fans will go from low to high speed if all of the system fans are notproviding cooling, or when the environmental threshold is exceeded for the CPU.Use the showenv -v command to obtain CPU environmental thresholdinformation. Refer to the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller CommandReference Manual for correct usage of the showenv command. The system is OK andis still within the thermal specification when this “WARNING” message appears.1.3.3Sun Fire Cabinet Fan Tray Power SwitchesIf the Sun Fire cabinet fan trays are not operating, make sure that the fan trays areswitched on. The fan tray power switches are located in the back of each cabinet fantray, below the power cord socket.Chapter 1Safety and Tools Requirements1-3
1.3.4Firmware On Replacement Boards andAssembliesAfter installing a board or assembly, use the showboards -p proms command todetermine if the firmware needs to be updated. If an update is required, use eitherthe system controller flashupdate -f or flashupdate -c command. Refer tothe Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 System Controller Command Reference Manual forcorrect usage of the flashupdate command.Note – Do not use the flashupdate -u command as shown in onscreen messages.Using flashupdate -u can result in incompatibility issues that require a reboot ofthe system controller and domains.You can find a list of the most current patches for bug fixes and system firmwareupgrade on SunSolve Onlinesm. SunSolve provides recommended and securitypatches, including Year 2000 patches, to all users. Other product and OS patches areavailable to SunSpectrumsm contract customers. Contact your local Sun CustomerCare Center or your service provider if you need assistance in accessing the list ofcurrent patches and system firmware upgrades.1.3.5Switzerland CautionCaution – The Sun Fire Sun Fire 3800 system exceeds the rating requirements inSwitzerland for pluggable type A equipment. To comply with national requirements,customers in Switzerland who receive a standalone Sun Fire Sun Fire 3800 system(shipped without a rack) must provide a means to connect the system to a pluggabletype B power circuit.1-4Sun Fire E6900/E4900 Systems Service Manual May 2006
1.4Filler Boards and Filler PanelsFiller boards and filler panels are used for EMI protection and to ensure proper airflow in order to prevent the system from overheating.TABLE 1-3 describes the precautions you must take when you remove boards orassemblies from a system.TABLE 1-31.5Overheating Precautions Using Filler BoardsIf you have.Do the followingEmpty PCI card slotsInstall PCI filler boards in all empty PCI card slots.Empty CompactPCII/O slotsInstall CompactPCI I/O filler boards in all unused CompactPCIslots.CPU/Memory boardInstall a filler board in a system to prevent the system fromoverheating if the system is to be operating without theCPU/Memory board installed. If two CPU/Memory boards mustbe removed, use a CPU filler panel over one board slot and install afiller board in the second board slot in order to prevent the systemfrom overheating. Do not install two filler panels. The filler panelsare for short term use only (CPU/Memory board replacement).System ControllerboardA filler board occupies the empty slot for one of the SystemController boards. If you install a redundant System Controllerboard, remove the System Controller filler board.Empty power supplyslotsInstall power supply filler panels in empty power supply slotswithin one minute in a powered-on system.Empty fan tray slotsInstall fan tray filler panels in empty fan tray slots within oneminute in a powered-on system.Periodic MaintenanceThe Sun Fire system have been designed such that the air intake screens can becleaned or changed without the need to power off the system.The Sun Fire system each have one air intake screen that requires periodic inspectionand cleaning. Inspecting the air intake screen for debris and trapped particles shouldbe done every three months of operation. The level of debris found on the screenand surrounding area should be considered in the decision of when to remove andclean the air intake screen. See Section 12.1 “Cleaning the Air Intake Screen”.Chapter 1Safety and Tools Requirements1-5
If the air intake screen collects a substantial amount of debris in less than threemonths, investigate the air supply system for sources of contamination and takecorrective action. In addition, notify and update account management, as required.Have spare air intake screens onsite so that replacements are avail
